I've seen many folks shooting real bullets out of a snubby .38 of some variety. A lot of folks say how the recoil is agonizing - so I expected to see the recoil as being vicious.
Well, says self, I have seen monster magnums shot off. Muzzle rise. The .357 magnums shot off. Muzzle rise. Little .32s shot off. Muzzle rise. Therefore, when someone shoots a .38 snubby, the muzzle should noticeably go up, like any self-respecting magnum wheelgun or autoloader.
Self noticed the guy from S&W academy on Personal Defense TV, shooting a .38 snubby. Lo and behold, no muzzle rise to speak of (minute muzzle rise).
So, self is wondering: why the devil don't .38's have more muzzle flip?
